Updates Concerning Classes
We recognize that some students have voiced their preference to return to in-person instruction. As soon as we can find an instructor to teach in-person classes we will be offering them again.
Children's classes for this Fall term have, thus far, remained unconfirmed. If we confirm children's courses, they would tentatively begin in late September/early October. We hope that you remain patient with us as logistics are confirmed.
